Inner Automorphism - Lie Algebra Case

Lie Algebra Case

An automorphism of a Lie algebra is called an inner automorphism if it is of the form Adg, where Ad is the adjoint map and g is an element of a Lie group whose Lie algebra is . The notion of inner automorphism for Lie algebras is compatible with the notion for groups in the sense that an inner automorphism of a Lie group induces a unique inner automorphism of the corresponding Lie algebra.

    All that I have said and done,
    Now that I am old and ill,

    I lie awake night after night
    And never get the answers right.
